Is that a Wisp?
chapter-620

Illia didn't care about the Shields around her at all. She could totally see Krune's cultivation, so she didn't think he could do anything to her. At most, he could only defend for some time. Still, she didn't hold back. She didn't want to let him escape, no matter what.

"Blue Lotus Domain!"

The world around Illia and Krune changed into light blue colors as a projection of an enormous blue lotus appeared on her head. Several petals made of Godly Energy, Water Element, and Laws spread. Illia's domain could disrupt the Godly Energy and Divine Sense of her opponents, an exceptionally strong Domain.

At the same time, she attacked Krune as well.

"Blooming Lotus Rays!"

The Blue Lotus on Illias' head opened, releasing a blue like Godly Energy Ray that reflected on all the petals floating in her domain. Right after, all those rays shot at Krune from all sides!

Krune looked at all of that with a calm expression, though. He kept his hand on his back, as if not caring much to the incoming attack.

Suddenly, ten shields that had been spinning with Purple Lightning shot in his direction as well. However, the route they took would only pass close to his body, not hit it. Illia didn't understand much what he was doing as the rays of Blue Godly Energy were about to pierce him. Her attacks came in completely random patterns, which made it almost unpredictable.

However, almost doesn't mean completely...

*Clang!*

Just as the first ray was about to pierce Krune's body, a shield passed right in front of it, reflecting the attack away. The impressive thing was not that the shield blocked it, but that it didn't stop at all to do it. The shield just passed by Krune at high speed while rotating. It then reflected the attack at the exact time is passed there. Just how good of a grasp must one have to calculate such a precise time?

Still, that was only one of the rays of blue godly energy. There were hundreds of them reflecting in all blue petals that were coming at Krune's direction. Illia thought that he was just lucky to block the first one. However...

*Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...*

Krune's ten shields kept flying while rotating at high speeds around him. Every time they passed, they would block one or more of the rays perfectly. Krune just kept looking at Illia as he smiled.

Illia didn't stop her attack for even a second. Still, even after an entire minute, not a single ray of her blooming lotus attack was able to breakthrough Krune's defense. What made Illia even more shocked was the fact that her Blue Lotus Domain could disrupt the enemy's Godly Energy Control and Divine Sense. However, Krune didn't seem to be affected by it at all!

Noticing that it wasn't going anywhere, Illia attack again.

"Blue Lotus Blade!"

Two other blue lotus flowers appeared on each of her sides, releasing several times more petals. However, they were not there to contribute to the domain but to attack. The petals had a little less power than the Blooming Lotus Attack, but their numbers simply couldn't compare.

All those blades came at Krune as well, while the Blooming Lotus Rays still attacked him from all sides. Krune finally showed a surprised expression and raised his hands. Immediately, another twenty shields that had been still so far came at him as well. With thirty shields working together, Illia's attack was once again nullified. Not only that, everywhere the shields passed, their Purple Lightning Blades destroyed all of Illia's Blue Lotus Blades.

Krune looked at that and nodded, satisfied.

The reason Krune wasn't affected by the Blue Lotus Domain's Divine Sense disruptive ability was that he used Mental Energy to control the shields. As for the Godly Energy Disruptive part, his shields have an Energy Transfer Formation made by Iem on each of them. Logically, he didn't have to be afraid of missing the control since he can transfer the energy directly inside.

'I modified this Formation so that it could be suitable for both attack and defense. From the looks of it, the defensive part is working pretty well. That girl can attack from all sides, and the power behind those petals are nothing to scoff at. Still, the shields are having no problem keeping all of it away from me. I guess I can change the other 72 into attack mode.'

As soon as he thought that, all the other 72 Shields around the place began to spin even faster. Their Purple Tribulation Lightning Blades raised in size, making each one of them at least a meter in size. Still, since they were made or Purple Tribulation Lightning, the shields' weight didn't change at all, which didn't make them hard to control.

The shields then came flying at Illia from all directions. However, due to the power of the Formation, they acted as a team. There would be no disruption caused by each other's attacks.

Illia had noticed those shields around before and had kept an eye on them. The moment they began to move, she also began to act.

"Hmph!"

The enormous blue lotus projection on her head then descended, quickly enclosing her body. Right after, the lotus closed with Illia inside. Without a doubt, that was some kind of protection ability. Unfortunately, Illia underestimated the power of the Purple Tribulation Lightning Blades on the shields!

*Rip!*

As soon as the first wave of attacks hit her Blue Lotus Protection, quite a few petals were ripped apart! Illia's complacent expression disappeared almost instantly after seeing it.

"Impossible!"

Illia is one of the top geniuses of the Flor River Sect. She had used her Blue Lotus protection hundreds of times in the past while fighting other Sect Disciples. There had been some who could sever one or two petals. Other geniuses at the same level as she could even cut three or four at once. However, no one in the Semi-Divinity Realm had ever cut so many petals at once! In one wave of attack, more than ten petals fell! How could she not be alarmed? She thought she wouldn't need to give even a single step after her domain closed around Krune, but it was obviously not the case anymore.

Krune is only three Sub-Laws away from mastering all Purple Tribulation Lightning Sub-Laws. Obviously, their attack power far surpassed anything from the past.

Still, she didn't have time to think. The shields' attacks didn't stop for even a second and kept coming from all sides. Illia immediately understood that staying put in this place would destroy her entire defense. She could feel that the shields' Purple Lightning Blades weren't just cutting her Blue Lotus Protection. Every time they passed by, the Laws of her Petals seemed to be eaten away even before the blades touched them. That's why her Blue Lotus was falling soo easily. Of course, the Purple Tribulation Blades on the rotating shields were extremely powerful on their own right.

"Blue Lotus Transition!"

Several much bigger Blue Lotus Petals bloomed and separated from her. They spread around her domain in a flash and shinned with blue light. Just as another Shield Blades was about to cut a petal of Illia's protection, Illia disappeared from her spot. The next second, she appeared in the place of one of the Big Blue Lotus Petals inside her domain.

Krune couldn't help but be impressed by that.

'Oh! It's very similar to Laka's fire sparks that allowed him to change places. Interesting!'

Krune spread his Mental Energy. Soon, all the Big Blue Lotus Petals appeared in his mind. He then used his Purple Tribulation Shields and began to cut all of them down.

Illia's expression immediately changed after seeing that. She really encountered the wrong opponent this time. Krune had over a hundred Flying Shields with Purple Lightning Blades, so he could control them to attack several Petals at the same time! Not only that, Krune used some of the shields to keep attacking Illia as well.

Illia could create more of those Big Lotus Petals that she used to change positions, but they consumed a lot of Godly Energy when you made so many. She kept changing positions while attacking Krune, but the 30 shields that Krune reserved for his own protection didn't let a single attack of hers to pass through. So far, Illia was the only one moving everywhere to protect herself. In contrast, Krune hasn't moved a single step from his initial position.

Krune had to admit that Illia was strong too. Although he has the advantage, he hasn't caused any damage to Illia yet. So far, all he did was make her move around to protect herself, which she could do with ease. Of course, Krune had no idea about how much Godly Energy Illia had to consume to continue conjuring the Big Blue Lotus Petals. However, Krune was sure that it wasn't all she could do.

Krune was right. Illia knew that nothing good would come out of this exchange, so she decided to change her approach as well. She was shocked about how strong Krune was for his cultivation, but she definitely wasn't afraid.

However, just as she was about to do so, the space around the battlefield began to change abruptly. All the members of both groups noticed it as well. But before anyone could check what was happening, hundreds of Semi-Transparent Claws began to come out from everywhere.

The battle had been going for too long, which caught all Spatial Creatures' attention around the place. Obviously, they wouldn't wait for a conclusion to happen between both parties before attacking.
